Can you do a Word Count in Pages?

I am working on College essays and applications and a lot of the essays they require you to write can only be so many words. Is there a way to do a word count on Pages? On my PC, Microsoft Word 07 automatically has the word count in the bottom of the window.
Please help!

In the inspector there is an automatic word count in the document section. All you need to do is select the info column and it should be there!

    The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

  • Can you convert MS word to pages?

    Can you convert MS word to pages?

    I see you just list an iPad, but you've posted in the Pages for Mac forum, so I'm going to assume you are asking about Pages on a Mac. Pages can open most Word documents (probably Word 97 or later). The conversion most likely won't be perfect, so be prepared for some differences.

  • How do I get a word count in Pages 5.5.2?

    I have a 21.5" iMac, bought December, 2014. I have Yosemite 10.10.2 installed and I am using Pages 5.5.2.
    How do I get a Word Count in Pages 5.5.2?

    View menu > Show Word Count.
    A floating panel will appear at the bottom of your document. Pass your mouse over the right-side of this floating panel and you will see up/down arrows. Click. Choose Word count from the list of available counts. The floating panel now displays word count, until you change it again. You can also move this floating panel with a command+click+drag, in case you want it below your footer content.
    You might want to download the free WordService service solution from the OS X App Store. I provides you with many additional features (e.g. Sort Ascending, Document Statistics, etc.) The act of downloading this application will install, but not activate several services. You activate what you want in:
    System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services : WordService:servicename.
    The WordService application will be in your LaunchPad (on your left Dock). Run it and choose Help. This will launch the Preview PDF viewer and a document showing all the Services available, and their description. Services in OS X act on selected document content. If you want more detail on the number of words, characters, and spaces in a selected paragraph, you would use Pages > Services > WordService:Statistics.

  • How do I see my word count on Pages 5.1?

    I just downloaded Pages 5.1 on my Mac, but I'm beginning to not like the changes. For example, where can I find my word count without pasting the entire body of the document into an outside source?
    Thanks for your help!

    You are aware that Apple has removed over 100 features form Pages 5 and added a long list of bugs, including problems opening files?
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Stick with that until Apple fixes Pages 5 or an alternative arises.

  • How do you find the word count on MacBook, please?

    How do you find the word count on MacBook, please?

    If you are trying to find word count in a Microsoft Word 2011 documemt, for instance, open the document and go to the Tools menu, selecting Word Count. In Apple's Pages application, open the document and look at the bottom of the page, near the left it will say "X Words" where X is the number.
    Best of luck.

  • In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro V9.4.0
    Win7 Pro x64
    Problem: In Initial View, can you set defaults for Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification?
    Every time Acrobat scans a document, I have to go to Initial View to set Navigation tab, Page layout, and Magnification. It does not remember the settings I last used.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can you print four months to a page in iCal?

    Can you print four months to a page in iCal?

    Yes.
    From any application you can print multiple pages on a single page. In the Print Dialog click on Copies & Pages to open up the drop down menu, then select Layout.
    iCal defaults to one month per page, so select the 4 pages to a page Layout to get what you want.
    Does that answer your question?

  • Can you increase DFF length on Framework page through personalization?

    Can you increase DFF length on Framework page through personalization? Not sure if this is possible with personalization or only through customization. Please advise.
    Thanks,

    ok, so you want to increase length of KFF item where different segment gives the concateneted segment.
    ex: 10-100-1000-10000-2333.
    But why you want to increase the length? is the length too small that it is not able to display complete string.

  • Can you change the wording of a text that someone sent you ?

    my sister sent someone a text , they in turn showed me on their phone with her name/number at the top of the feed  to prove she said something to this person about this certain subject . She is denying everything in this text and said he altered it to show me what he wanted me to see . Can you change the wording on a text sent from someone in their feed with their name/number at the top of the feed? Does this make sense ? What I do know is , you can copy and paste and change the wording when sending that text to someone else , but he showed me his own phone with these incriminating texts.

    No you can't

  • Can you change the color of the page?

    Can you change the color of the page using In Design CS5.5 ?
    How?

    Are you intending to print a color onto the page to change the color or perhaps you need a colored background for onscreen output? Or are you planning on printing on already-colored stock?
    For the former, use Scott's suggestion, for the latter edit the Paper swatch.
